For each del Pezzo surface 
$S$ with du Val singularities, we determine whether it admits a 
$(-K_{S})$-polar cylinder or not. If it allows one, then we present an effective 
$\mathbb{Q}$-divisor 
$D$ that is 
$\mathbb{Q}$-linearly equivalent to 
$-K_{S}$ and such that the open set 
$S\setminus \text{Supp}(D)$ is a cylinder. As a corollary, we classify all the del Pezzo surfaces with du Val singularities that admit non-trivial 
$\mathbb{G}_{a}$-actions on their affine cones defined by their anticanonical divisors.
